API parameters
exchange
Required
String
The exchange you want to calculate the indicator from:
binance, binancefutures or one of our supported exchanges. For other crypto / stock exchanges, please refer to our Client or Manual integration methods.
symbol
Required
String
Symbol names are always uppercase, with the coin separated by a forward slash and the market: COIN/MARKET. For example:
BTC/USDT Bitcoin to Tether, or LTC/BTC Litecoin to Bitcoin...
interval
Required
String
Interval or time frame: We support the following time frames:
1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, 12h, 1d, 1w. So if you're interested in values on hourly candles, use interval=1h, for daily values use interval=1d, etc.
backtrack
Optional
Integer
The
backtrack parameter removes candles from the data set and calculates the 3outside value X amount of candles back. So, if you’re fetching the 3outside on the hourly and you want to know what the 3outside was 5 hours ago, set backtrack=5. The default is 0 and a maximum is 50.
backtracks
Optional
Integer
The
backtracks parameter returns the 3outside value calculated on every candle for the past X candles. For example, if you want to know what the 3outside was every hour for the past 12 hours, you use backtracks=12. As a result, you will get 12 values back.
chart
Optional
String
The
chart parameter accepts one of two values: candles or heikinashi. candles is the default, but if you set this to heikinashi, the indicator values will be calculated using Heikin Ashi candles. Note: Pro & Expert Plans only.
addResultTimestamp
Optional
Boolean
true or false. Defaults to false. By setting to true the API will return a timestamp with every result (real-time and backtracked) to which candle the value corresponds. This is helpful when requesting multiple backtracks.
gaps
New
Optional
Boolean
true or false. Defaults to true. By setting to false, the API will ensure that there are no candles missing. This often happens on lower timeframes in thin markets. Gaps will be filled by a new candle with 0 volume, and OHLC set the the close price of the latest candle with volume.
results
New
Optional
String
number or max. Use this parameter to access historical values on the past X candles until the most recent candle. Use max to return all available historical values. Returns an array with the oldest value on top and most recent value returned the last.
More examples
Let's say you want to know the 3outside value on the last closed candle on the 30m timeframe. You are not interest in the real-time value, so you use the backtrack=1 optional parameter to go back 1 candle in history to the last closed candle.
[GET] https://api.taapi.io/3outside?secret=MY_SECRET&exchange=binance&symbol=BTC/USDT&interval=30m&backtrack=1
